The Southern Sun chain of hotels has recently offered its support to the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) media campaign, playing host to industry professionals from all over the globe.

While deftly accommodating the substantially increased visitor numbers seen at its Al Manzil and Qamardeen hotels, the group welcomed 23 media representatives from countries across the region, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.

"This is one way we choose to show our unwavering support of Dubai's tourism efforts. It is also a means for us to showcase Southern Sun's warm, vibrant and luxurious brand of hospitality," said Richard Weilers, managing director of Southern Sun Middle East.

Many hotels in Dubai have been offering extensive discounts on luxury accommodation since the start of the Dubai Shopping Festival.

People who are buying in Dubai may like to take advantage of the offers as they take a look around the emirate for their perfect property.
